BREAKING: How Biden's Lend-Lease for Ukraine Could Turn the Tide of War BY DARRAGH ROCHE ON 4/7/22 AT 8:15 AM EDT newsweek.com The U.S. Senate unanimously approved a measure on Wednesday that could potentially turn the tide of the war between Russia and Ukraine in Ukraine's favor. Senators passed the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022 that will grant President Joe Biden more authority to provide the Ukrainian government with defensive equipment and allow him to overcome bureaucratic barriers. The bill is designed to remove obstacles to providing military equipment to Ukraine and, if passed by the House of Representatives and signed by Biden, it would effectively allow the U.S. to gift equipment to Ukraine, while technically requiring payment at a later date. That could be a major help to the country as military equipment could essentially be supplied free of charge for the duration of the conflict. During World War II, the Lend-Lease program was an operation providing much-needed military aid to U.S. allies, including the U.K., the then Soviet Union and the then Republic of China. Many historians believe it played a decisive role in supporting the Allies. The program helped the U.K. to continue fighting against Nazi Germany as the country faced Adolf Hitler's forces alone following the fall of France in 1940. The original Lend-Lease legislation was passed in March, 1941 and signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The new bill, if enacted, could see the U.S. government "lend" or "lease" supplies to Ukraine to defend against the Russian invasion. Biden could fulfil the role played by Roosevelt in the 1940s and provide even more supplies to Ukraine. The U.S. Congress has already approved $14 billion in military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine but a new Lend-Lease law could see an even greater flow of military aid to the country. Among the supplies the U.S. and its allies have already provided are Javelin anti-tank missiles and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles. Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat who is one of the sponsors of the legislation, issued a statement following its passage in the Senate on Wednesday outlining what the law could potentially achieve.
